However, downstream vendors (like us in SapMachine) might use other events such as pull_request and they would then need to patch this away. This kind of downstream issue was also reported by [Amazon](https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/build-dev/2022-August/035102.html). If you agree, I would remove the commented lines 91-93. Otherwise I have to uncomment them.
